The outspoken mom-of-one is well known for getting into arguments and even faced off with Joy Behar in an on-air screaming match. "You saying that the Republican party is trash, I don’t care. It’s not revelatory. Who cares, you say it every single day," she snapped at Behar at the time. "Every single day, you hate Republicans. Oh my God, how revelatory!"

The television personality also opened up about the fact that her decision to dial things back and seek out a job that made her happier had to do with an "existential crisis" she had after the tragic loss of her father, John McCain.

This comes after OK! reported that her daughter Liberty — who she shares with husband Ben Domenech — was also a major part of her decision to move from the Big Apple and back to Washington, D.C. where she could be closer to family.

"I think as any new mom knows, when I think about where I want Liberty to have, you know her first steps and her first words," she said of her daughter — who she welcomed in September 2020 — "I just have this really wonderful life here that ultimately, I felt I didn't want to leave [Washington]."
